The need for advancement in human minds has underrated a sensitive environment of the global ecosystem. The human being is largely responsible for the criminal plans of the global warming or climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, degrading the soil, poisoning the air, river and ocean pollution using chemical wastes, extinction of thousands of thousands of animal species, deforestation and extinction of plant species etc. to say the least, as reported to nearly all sustainability news being published today, mother nature, in all its fairness to the human being,  has been ripped off her beauty and dignity, albeit unscrupulously.

While ecological experts have continuously clarified that the global economies are fully depending on the natural eco-system, human beings are still on a depletion spree of such huge supplies of natural resources. Ecological sustainability, as well as symphony, has to be taken into account even as large-scale industries continue to look for ways to grow and prosper. There has not been any time in history that the ethical values have been divorced from the real biological facts. Every action that is perceived to be detrimental to the survival of any living thing in the planet is thought to be immoral.

In the past, ethics were thought to be a branch of science or philosophy but have to have both values and facts. Bioethics can simply be described as the science of survival and the basis on which the entire eco-system is built upon mainly dealing with the existing relationship between animals, plants, and the physical environment. Ecological experts have always emphasized on the importance of green environment, and many people who are yet to fully comprehend what ‘greening up’ is all about are left with more questions than answers.

Why is green environment important? Green environment is very crucial because the effects of global warming are on the rise and are affecting everything that we do today. Nearly all countries today as well as non-governmental organizations are advocating for measures that will bring to an end global warming. Poor weather patterns as well as changes in the weather patterns generally have been the major culprits of global warming. Needless to mention, global warming has had adverse effects on the economies of most countries, if not all, globally, mostly affecting the people who rely on farming as their major source of livelihood.

That said, the continuous existence of animal and plant species is vital for the betterment in the quality of life on planet earth. How a species is adapted to the changing environment is what largely determines its survival and existence.  The ever-increasing population pressure on the environment, the novel consumerism, as well as poverty levels in some developing countries are the major culprits of environmental degradation.

It is high time, as all sustainability news call for, to reconcile our past actions on nature, renew all natural resources, restore depleting forests, and to improve on the quality of life for every human being on earth, so that people will discontinue stripping mother nature off its valuable resources and ensure ecological sustainability is achieved.
